Reorqanizations_ 1 . City Government In 1966, in addition to my official duties as Deputy Commi.ssioner of Finance for the City of St. Paul , I served as Chairman of a task force which prePared a draft of a new charter for the City of St. Paul . This charter was presented to the voters and adopted in 1971. One of the principal features of the charter, which was put into operation in 1972, a�as an extensive reorganization of city government, includin� a change from tl�e commission form to the strong �ayor form of c�overnr�ent. Tl�e pri nci pal reason for accepti ng my present nosition as Director of St. {'aul 's Department of Community Servi ces �ias tl�e opportuni ty i t presented to parti ci pate i n a si c�ni- ficant manner in directing the changeover to tf�e nevr or�anization. 2. County Government The 1971 Leqislature passed enablinet legislation ���hich c�ave P,amsey County a �ireater degree of self deterr.iination than any other county i n t1i nnesota. I participated in: A. Initiatinq the study of our county qovernment and the drafting of proposals for the new role of our county c�overnment. Q. The t�,riting of and lobbying for the special enablin� legislation. C. Di recti nc� the establ i shr�ent and admi ni strati on of the ne��� county government in my role as the first County Ad�ninistrator. Reducing Qperating Expenses 1. Under my direction, the county offices of Assessor, Auditor and Treasurer ���ere com�ined into a single Department of Froperty Taxation. Tliis combination took place about two years ago, and a study was recently conducted to determine the effects of the consolidation. T►�e study shovred that services had improved substantially, rlhile operating costs �•iere reduced tf�rough �forceahadnbeen�reduced�by elevenmemployeeson of procedures. The �:ork 2, I also directed the establishr.►ent of a County com�uter center which replaced data processinq operations at t���o separate locations. The savings in equipment rental alone amounts to $200,000 annually, and the centralized operation has helped establish a corrnon data base for most county operations. . � . � ��4i.� Personal Resume - Thomas John f;elley Page Three Professional Experience (cont. ) Combininq Go�vernment Resources with Other Resources in the Community 1. �lursing Service As Rar�sey County lldministrator, I established a County PJursing Service �•rliich coordinated the services provided by a private nursing service with those provided by county nurses. 2.
